Eleni Zinovia is a former consort and advisor to Archon Valerius, and by him the mother of Archon Hessarian. Eleni Zinovia was gifted with the power of precognition, and received visions of the future through her dreams. Zinovia's prophecies were integral to Valerius' rise to power, but when she foretold of his downfall, he had her spirit bound to a stone statue. As a statue, she was placed in front of Valerius' fortress to "tell her lies" to those who passed, but her prophecy came true. Valerius was killed and his fortress destroyed.[1]

She was distressed by the Veil Tears that had opened in the Tower's basement and would not speak coherently until they were closed. Once the tears were sealed, she provided the Warden-Commander and their companions the desired information on the eluvian and the Lights of Arlathan. Eleni also told Finn that they would not speak again. At the time, Finn was frightened by the implication that he was to die soon. Ultimately though, Eleni's prophecy came to fruition in a rather mundane and non-lethal way: Finn chose to travel with Ariane and never returned to the Circle.[2]
